"It doesn't bother me at all, that's who I am" - Kawhi Leonard says he hasn't worked on his iconic laugh
"It doesn't bother me at all, that's who I am" - Kawhi Leonard says he hasn't worked on his iconic laugh originally appeared on Basketball Network. He's just a fun guy. When Kawhi Leonard sat down at the podium during Toronto Raptors Media Day in 2018, no one expected him to deliver one of the strangest and most replayed soundbites of his career. After being asked what fans should know about him, Leonard paused, then delivered a laugh that was half robot and half hiccup. It caught the room off guard. The clip spread like wildfire. Overnight, Leonard became the punchline of internet jokes and parody videos. Less than a year later, during the 2019 NBA Finals, Leonard was asked if he had worked on that laugh. He smiled before answering in a way that summed up his approach to criticism and fame. "Not at all," he said. "I must laugh how I laugh and you know it's hard for me to laugh through a speaker. My voice is already deep. So let everybody have fun with it. It doesn't bother me at all, that's who I am." Out of the limelight Leonard never tried to reclaim the moment or bury it. He just let it be. He leaned into the fact that he is different and stayed focused on his job. By that point he was averaging 28 points a game and had already delivered back-to-back game winners during Toronto's playoff run. Leonard doesn't give much to the cameras and microphones. That's not new. What is rare is when he opens up about how far off public perception is from his real life. During the same interview, he was asked how different he thinks his image is from who he actually is. "I would say probably a little bit in the middle," Leonard said. "Once I have to do other stuff or go out or something, you might see me interact a little bit more, tell jokes, laugh, and then you know more other things. You'll see the things I like to do other than, you know, just playing basketball, like fishing, or going golfing, or just hanging out with my daughter doing something in my day." A ride etched in stone That year Leonard led the Raptors to a championship and won Finals MVP. It was his second time winning the award and made him the first player in league history to earn it in both conferences. In a league where image and personality often matter just as much as production, Leonard managed to let his numbers and impact speak for themselves. Toronto won 58 games that year and had the second-best defense in the league. He played in 24 playoff games and led all scorers in total points. Leonard knows he doesn't light up a press conference or drive TV ratings. He has said before he's aware of the jokes and memes but doesn't let them shape who he is. "Like you already know" he said with a grin, ready to churn out a not-so-robotic laugh, "I'm a fun guy." That quote now gets replayed nearly as much as the laugh itself. Both moments say the same thing. Leonard doesn't try to entertain off the court. He shows up to play and when it's over he goes home. That laugh from 2018 might have felt like a punchline at first but it ended up being a pretty accurate summary of Leonard's personality. He's awkward and awfully quiet, but that's why people love him. He's completely fine with who he is. And he's one of the best postseason players of his story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Aug 7, 2025, where it first appeared.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Hamilton NBA superstar who loves the city as much as the city loves him
NBA superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander came home to Hamilton on Thursday and professed his love for the Ontario city during a celebration to mark one of the greatest seasons in league history. Hundreds of people attended the free rally to honour the Oklahoma City Thunder point guard as he was presented with a key to the city. In the 2024-2025 season, Gilgeous-Alexander, 27, won the NBA championship, was named the finals MVP and regular-season MVP, and took the league scoring title. "Growing up as I travelled across the world, people always asked me where I was from ... I took pride in letting everyone know I was from Hamilton," Gilgeous-Alexander told the cheering crowd. "I liked telling them what Steel City meant to me. Hamiltonians carry a different sense of grit, determination and pride and energy than the rest of the province. And honestly, I couldn't shy away from that. I carry that with me every day." In an elite NBA group The only other players who have managed the same feat as Gilgeous-Alexander in one NBA season are Shaquille O'Neal, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Michael Jordan, who did it four times. That's all. Just Gilgeous-Alexander and three NBA Hall of Famers. No Lebron. No Kobe. No Steph Curry. "Many athletes would be considered a great player having had achieved just one of these accolades," Rowan Barrett, general manager of the Canadian men's national team, said at the rally. "But to do them all with such grace, calmness under pressure and true leadership in every sense of the word — it was a beautiful thing to behold." Mayor Andrea Horwath gave Gilgeous-Alexander the first key to the city to be presented by a Hamilton mayor since 1998, and it's the city's highest honour, she said. "Shai, you've not just inspired Hamilton, not just Canada, but fans around the world. And you've done it with humility, with heart and an unwavering connection to the city you call home," said Horwath. "On behalf of all Hamiltonians, we could not be more proud." The last recipient of the key to the city was professional wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin. It was presented by Bob Morrow, the mayor at the time, in September 1998. Gilgeous-Alexander said he felt "overwhelming joy" when he found out he was getting a key to the city. He went to high school at St. Thomas More and Sir Allan MacNab, both on the Mountain, and was drafted into the NBA in 2018 after playing one year of college basketball in the U.S. 'He's putting us on the map' Verbo Dela Cruz, 20, was at the rally early to get a good spot to see his idol, Gilgeous-Alexander. "He's putting us on the map — not just Toronto. It's Hamilton now too," said Dela Cruz. "He's a huge inspiration," added his friend, Maddox Abarico, 21. A lifelong Hamiltonian, Pam Edgecomb, 75, said being at the rally and seeing Gilgeous-Alexander in person felt surreal. "Shai, we admire him so much, as an athlete, a human being, a role model, for all ages," she said. "He's unbelievable. It's just unbelievable it really is."

Ms. Rachel reveals which celebrity she accidentally 'ghosted' on Instagram
Even Ms. Rachel isn't immune to the occasional social media faux pas. Speaking on the Aug. 7 episode of the "Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce" podcast, the 42-year-old YouTube sensation and mom of two — whose real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso — admitted to accidentally ignoring an A-list star who'd reached out to her on Instagram. Describing herself as "an elder millennial," Accurso told Kelce: "I'm not amazing with Instagram, so I didn't know about the 'requests' and 'top requests.' So I ghosted some people for, like, months." She continued: "I'm not a cool person who knows a lot about celebrities, so when I saw a '@badgalriri,' I was like, 'This person has so many followers.' And then I was like, 'This is such a cute little profile picture because it's a drawing.'" She had "no idea" the account belonged to the Grammy-winning "Umbrella" singer Rihanna, who's also a mom to two kids. "I asked people who were around — I was like, 'Do you know who this is?' And then I realized it was Rihanna," Accurso said. "I was like, 'Wow.' That was crazy." Accurso, known for her signature headband, overalls, and higher-pitched voice that engages little ones, is a go-to resource for many parents of young children. She and her unparalleled cheery demeanor started rising to fame in 2020 with her "Song for Littles" YouTube videos, which teach toddlers letters, shapes, colors, and nursery rhymes. The concept has evolved into a bona fide Ms. Rachel empire for the former teacher: the YouTube channel amassed at least 16 million subscribers and boasts videos that regularly pull in hundreds of millions of views, a Netflix streaming deal, several books, and a toy line. 'We are so in love:' Ms. Rachel welcomes baby No. 2, a girl named Susannah Ms. Rachel's daughter is 'a tough audience' Despite being a tried-and-true parenting guide for many, Accurso also experiences her parenting struggles. "I was staring at (daughter Susannah). She was around three months, and we're staring at each other. ... She's not sleeping, and she's just, like, looking at me,' Accurso told Kelce. "And I was like, 'This is my time to shine. I'm Ms. Rachel. It's time for a song.' And then I couldn't think of any! ... I went blank." "She's a tough audience sometimes," she admitted of her second-born child.
